Each
day, after listening to the news or reading a newspaper, I am sickened
at the consummate insanity of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. It’s
sheer, unadulterated lunacy to continue those two wars—after nine
years! It’s incredible that our country sinks into $12 trillion
in debt, horrific infrastructure degradation and complete lack of leadership.

I
thought after the duplicity, stupidity and immorality of the Vietnam
War that killed 53,200 Americans and several million Vietnamese, and
poisoned their country with Agent Orange and bombs, we would never again
engage in such madness. Nonetheless, the “Great Silent Majority”
stood by to watch their kids die—for nothing! History proved that!

Yet,
it’s beyond my logical understanding at how stupid our leaders,
former President Bush, and now, Barack Obama—prove themselves.
Bush attacked with no idea of what he perpetrated on an entire society.
He created 2.5 million refugees. He destroyed their infrastructure.
He killed hundreds of thousands in Iraq and Afghanistan.

What
does he have to show for it? Nothing but human misery for theirs and
ours! Yet, he lives in a million dollar mansion in Dallas! He’s
too stupid to understand what he wrought on humanity or too immoral.

Obama
received the Nobel Peace Prize. The entire world wants us out of the
Middle East and the Nobel must have given him a hint. But no, he added
another 30,000 of our kids to go kill another 30,000 of their kids.

What
will he have to show for it? In the end, more human misery and suffering
on both sides!

In
the current issue of Newsweek Magazine, “The gang that couldn’t
shoot straight” by Miller, Hosenball and Moreau, readers gained
an understanding of just how futile, hopeless and completely deranged
we are as we meddle in another third world country’s business.

We
spent $6 billion to train 170,000 Afghan police. “Only 30,000
remain on the force…”We are still at zero,” said Captain
Moqim. “They don’t listen, are undisciplined, and will never
be real policemen.”

We
wage war on a country, like Afghanistan, without one single jet plane,
helicopter or tank. Most Afghans grow crops, milk goats, herd sheep
and live like they did 1,000 years ago. They’re ancient Muslims
with no idea of Western sophistication, governance or customs. They
practice their own!

“Roughly
15 percent of recruits test positive for drugs, few know how to use
a toothbrush or drive a car, and 90 percent are illiterate,” said
Newsweek writers.

The
irony of that figure on illiteracy: no form of democracy can survive
illiteracy.

We
have not accomplished anything other than death for the past nine years
in Iraq and Afghanistan. It’s disgusting, sickening and humanly
obscene to kill that many people and cause THAT much misery, and pretend
we have done ‘good’ in that country.

Jefferson,
Franklin and Washington proved infinitely more intelligent that Bush
or Obama. Washington said it best, “No county can be trusted beyond
its own self-interests. Habitual friendship toward a foreign country
is as dangerous as habitual enmity. The policy of America should be
trade with all, but entangling alliances with nobody. The quarrels and
vendettas in other parts of the world are not our business. All countries
should be treated equal, with no favors granted to any of them.”

"I
have always given it as my decided opinion that no nation has a right
to intermeddle in the internal concerns of another; that everyone has
a right to form and adopt whatever government they liked best to live
under themselves; and that if this country could, consistently with
its engagements, maintain a strict neutrality and thereby preserve peace,
it was bound to do so by motives of policy, interest, and every other
consideration. - George Washington, from Letter to James Monroe, August
25,1796.

But
here we stand in 2010, mired in an endless war, endless death, endless
expense—and no end in sight. At the same time, the American people
offer up their kids to be chewed up by IEDs, suicides and complete breakdown
via emotional trauma. Over 175,000 to 200,000 U.S. combat troops committed
suicide after Vietnam. We do not understand the human toll and suicides
growing in our country from these current two wars.

Last
week, a friend of mine talked about how a 24 year old kid in his hometown,
came back from one tour in Iraq and one in Afghanistan, and twp weeks
ago, shoved a pistol into his mouth and ended his life. That will happen
thousands, if not tens of thousands of times in the coming years.

The
“War on Terror” remains a standing joke as our borders remain
open, available and unguarded. We have injected millions of Islamic
immigrants and potential suicide bombers into our country. I swear the
U.S. Congress and the last president and now today, this president,
possess scrambled eggs for brains. And the American people, even less
for electing those guys.
